henage Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I like watching the cycling events on the TV and do a few miles myself over the week . But i have a slight problem that every rider(from the top to good club riders) might be on drugs as and when required to boost results . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a sprinter in pro cycling has got to be one of the most dangerous occupations in sport. What a rotten year he's had.
